Moms I Adore : Danielle Hampton of Sometimes Sweet

I’m kicking off a new series on the blog today – Moms I Adore. There are so many amazing moms out there who seem to do it all and I am constantly inspired by them. I thought it would be fun to talk to them and figure out how they get it all accomplished. First in the series is Danielle Hampton of Sometimes Sweet.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I’m a stay-at-home Mom living in Arizona with my little family. I have a 2-year old son with another little one on the way! I used to teach high school English, but left to be at home and I’m loving it.

What is your favorite part of the day with your little one?
Waking up for sure- there’s nothing like that first morning smile.

What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
The best thing would have to be the sunshine my son Henry brings to my world- everyday he does something to make my husband or me smile and it’s such a gift to have him in our life. He’s truly the best parts of us.

What has been the hardest part about motherhood?
I think the hardest part would have to be figuring it all out. I don’t pretend to know it all now, but I think after a couple of years it’s gotten a little easier. It’s scary in the beginning bringing home a newborn- no one can prepare you for what motherhood is really like!

What are your top 3 products for babies/toddlers?

We really love California Baby products

, our Snuza

when Henry was a baby, and for pretty things, Little Hip Squeaks on Etsy.

What are your top 3 products for you?

I love our BOB jogging stroller

– even though this is technically a baby product it’s something I love most of all because it’s allowed me be out and about with Henry all the time. I also adore LUSH bath products and right now I’ve been loving Old Navy maternity leggings.

How do you “do it all”?
Oh man…I definitely don’t do it all, but I do make it work in our family’s own way. I utilize naptime to the fullest and do most of my blogging and writing then. Luckily Henry still takes 3-hour naps so I’m grateful for that big block of time!

If you had 1 hour of free time (kid free and the chores are done) how would you spend it?
Watching a cheesy television show like Pretty Little Liars.

Any advice for other moms?
Do what’s best for YOUR family. Don’t worry about how other people parent or get things done, just do what’s best for you. And embrace every single moment…it all goes by way too quickly!
